Most Recent Teaching:
17 Examine Yourself: Paul’s Warning to Corinth (2 Corinthians 12:13-13:14)
Paul’s closing charge is often misunderstood. In this passage, “examine yourself” is not a call to anxious introspection but a corrective to a church testing Paul while overlooking the evidence of Christ at work among them. Paul redirects attention from his credentials to their shared life in Christ, using his authority to build them up and aiming for restoration, unity, and peace.
